- Widening roads and building flyovers as a way to solve congestion doesn't work. Worldwide it has been observed that increasing road space only helps to increase traffic, a phenomenon known as induced traffic.

- Traffic on Aundh road (the road being widened) has to pass through the University Gate junction. The throughput capacity of this junction is ultimately limited by Ganeshkhind road, through which all traffic must pass. So widening the junction, while creating an impression of a reduced tail (seen at peak hours) may not actually reduce the time taken to pass through. In fact, conflict of merging traffic may actually reduce the throughput. This needs to be carefully studied, something the Road/Traffic department has not done.

- The cycle track on Aundh road is unusable and must be upgraded and extended to connect to the cycle track on Ganeshkhind road

- Aundh road is marked as a 36 meter road in the 1987 Development Plan for Pune and has been proposed to be widened to 45 meters in the draft Development Plan published by the city. The width and design for this road must be finalized prior to expansion.

- The draft Development Plan proposed certain design templates for a road of this width.
